Say hello to Figley—affectionately known as Fig! This 19-pound, 3-year-old terrier mix is as sweet as they come. From the moment he stepped into his foster home, he blended right in, charming everyone (humans, dogs, and even the cat!) with his gentle, loving nature.

Fig is a social little guy who absolutely adores playing with his canine foster siblings and gets along great with the resident kitty. He hasn’t met a human he doesn’t adore—his tail is always wagging, ready to share his love.

Fig would thrive in a calm, suburban home with a securely fenced yard and another playful pup to show him the ropes. Figley definitely needs someone who is home most of the day. He’s still working on his potty training and leash skills, but he’s eager to learn and responds well to a patient, loving routine.

City life can feel a little overwhelming for Fig, so a quieter setting would be ideal to help him feel safe and confident.

If you’re looking for a tenderhearted companion with puppy-dog eyes, a playful spirit, and so much love to give—Figley just might be your perfect match.
